Nick Duttle Repeats Alpine 5.14

Posted September 9, 2011 at 12:26 pm · Comments { 0 } ·

DPM reports on Nick Duttle doing the 4th ascent of Tommy Caldwell’s Sarchasm (5.14) located high in RMNP, CO on the Ship’s Prow near Longs Peak:

After breaking a few holds during his efforts at what he calls, “the first fat guy ascent,” Nick felt the line warranted the 5.14b grade. He also noted that it took him longer to figure out the crux on Sarchasm than it did for him to figure out some V14 boulder problems.

Bad Girls Club (5.14d) Repeated By Jonathan Siegrist

Posted September 5, 2011 at 5:28 pm · Comments { 0 } ·

Not long after its FA by Matty Hong, Jonathan Siegrist has, according to my spies, done the 2nd ascent of Bad Girls Club (5.14d) in Rifle, CO. More details to come, I’m sure, on Siegrists’ excellent blog.

Update: As expected, Siegrist has posted about the send which came on his 8th try:

3 rests, nearly a hundred moves and 17 bolts later, I was clipping chains. Very pleased. First and foremost, Joey Kinder deserves a shout out – he put in tons of effort on this thing, cleaning it up, equipping it and giving it love. (sorry I doubted you man! this is a RAD addition, and a worthy Colorado test-piece). Secondly, Matty Hong – a really impressive effort… Matty has become a true king of this style, having done almost every hard route in the canyon, psyched for you man!

Update 2: Siegrist also sent The Crew (5.14c) and talks about both sends in this interview with Rock & Ice
